RLWP Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 OK I'm in This is what I'm building: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DH60_Moth_G-EBLV_(6681538545).jpg She's a DH60 Cirrus Moth in the Shutleworth collection. I usually model pre 1919 aeroplanes, so this pushes me a bit outside my normal era. It'll be my first biplane scratchbuild too, The others have all been monoplanes I jumped the gun a little on Monday as I was making a wing for another 'plane. As i had all the tools out, I scribed and bent the skins for this 'plane too Richard sandokan, Alain Gadbois, BradG and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLWP Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Very cool. And very blue! There's going to be a bit of a pause before the next bit as I have a Nieuport to finish. Unless I get enthusiastic of course I'm going to need you guys further along the path when I get daunted by something or other, thanks for dropping in Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 I found this image (there are loads of G-EBLV on the internet, she's very photogenic): What are all those round bumps on the upper wing? Richard MikeC and sandokan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Those rivets on the upper wing look a bit overscale! Kev RLWP and mark31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 will follow along for sure, I admire you guys who build from scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Awesome! I'm holding out hope that a bunch of the Moth series sees the light of day in resin or injection plastic form. In the meantime I'll live vicariously through your build. Good luck with it MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Good News! The bumps are probably 21st century inspection panels, so I can leave them off by modelling the aeroplane in pre 2003 condition Bad New! I severed a tendon in my left hand in an accident on Friday. That's going to make a dent in my modelling for a while Richard Lee White, Shawn M and MikeC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 oh no, you gonna be ok? Wasn't modeling related was it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 oh no, you gonna be ok? Wasn't modeling related was it No, broken roller shutter door, slipping ladder related. Which unfortunately left me with a very nasty injury on the wrong side of a closed roller shutter door All much too exciting Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Ouch. I hope you get better soon, that is a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It explains this colour scheme: I'm guessing this 'plane is silver and blue. It's attractive because it has much less lettering. The engine cowling is simpler too Richard Edited December 7, 2017 by RLWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 I say, this is jolly fun!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=206&v=QPCAn8WexHU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) I'm getting frustrated at not being able to model, so I got a local company to sort my hand out I say a company, it's more like one man and his dog. They have a nice A35 van Richard Edited December 10, 2017 by RLWP Alain Gadbois, TorbenD, Out2gtcha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
